Bloomberg's Allison Schrager and David Gura join Scarlet Fu and Tom Keene on "Bloomberg Money." Schrager writes that "it is one of the great paradoxes of our time: Americans have never been richer — or more negative about the economy. More people are upper-middle class than ever, and even lower-income Americans are richer by almost every measure compared to previous generations. And yet more than three in five Americans say the economy is not working for them." (Source: Bloomberg)
